2004 Pistons-Pacers Playoff Series

[2legit]

Does anyone want to go back to this basketball? Donovan Mitchell's 71 Points would have outscored the Pistons/Pacers 5 times. There are a lot of oldheads that believe that this was real basketball.

Lol at thinking Donovan Mitchell was scoring on them pistons

 

[Gotright]

That pistons team was locking nikkas up

Incredible series ‘04 pistons were a team of destiny

Everyone likes more offense. Every pro sport has legislated things to make it easier for offensive players to score. It's only going to get worse as fantasy sports/gambling take more of a hold.

The game is so much better now. It's criminal how few points those teams were scoring with the talent they had.

Pistons did the same thing in the finals though breh, And that was vs the GOAT

what gets overlooked is every possession was a battle in these type of games
plays actually got drawn up and developed in front of your eyes over the course of the shot clock
certain fans are going appreciate that for what it is
everybody ain't trying see 30 pts swings in a quarter behind a bunch of undefended 3s with 20 seconds left on the clock

Defense is part of basketball too

 

[UpAndComing]

If you don't enjoy NBA Defense, you're not a fan of basketball and a casual

I don't care what anyone says

That shyt was bullshyt struggle ball.

Teams couldn't score because they played a garbage brand of basketball at a low pace, with a bunch isos, struggle post ups, and repetitive slow developing plays, taking a bunch of contested midrange shots.

ISO'ng every other possession is plays getting drawn up and developing over the course of the shot clock? The conviction some of y'all have when posting this bullshyt.

This 100%.

There's good defense and bad offense. Pistons just played locked down D which is entertaining as fukk.

Bad offense is just a product of having no talent or scheme on your roster.
